In a job that often requires delicacy, Josh Earnest has made no effort to hide his affection for the Royals.

Earnest is the White House Press Secretary and on Thursday he was looking to make a bet on the American League Championship Series with Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz of Texas.

The Washington Post reported that when Earnest was asked about the Royals, he said, “They’re ready to take on Ted Cruz’s other hometown team, the Toronto Blue Jays next,” Earnest said.
